Click On “OK” to submit and save these
communication settings.
Note: If you experience a communications fault, as evidenced by a RED communications LED, ensure your
communication settings are correct. If you are using a USB to Serial Adapter, verify the Com Port number
assigned to it is set correctly, ProgTerm restricts comport selections to up to COM20, if your adapter has
assigned a higher value you are required to reconfigure your port. Refer to your computer and/or USB to
Serial Adapter manufacturers manual for detailed information on how to do this.
7.6. Parameter Dump Using ProgTerm
ProgTerm versions 1.50 or later provides a means to save all ACU, COMMIF, and PCU parameter settings into a text
file. This text file may be used to restore the parameter settings in the system to a known configuration. It is
important to verify all settings are correct and your system is operational prior to saving a parameter dump file. Use
the procedure(s) below to dump all of the parameter settings or a single module dump (i.e. you may dump only the
ACU parameter settings or just the PCU parameter settings.)
Click on the Parameter Legacy button.
